It would be recalled that Chinakwe was arrested and arraigned before Bolaji Ojikutu of Sango-Otta Magistrate’s Court Ogun State by the police for naming his dog Buhari. He was charged for conduct likely to cause breach of public peace.

He was subsequently granted a N50, 000 bail and freed from detention after he fulfilled his bail condition following a fundraising appeal coordinated by Inibehe Effiong.
